I'm tempted to drink em every time I see them. I have a bottle that the bourbon was mae in 1917 and was bottled 1933. Wasn't prohibition when it was bottled but it survived it. I am going to drink that one soon. For the other two I planned on drinking one with my son when he gets married and one with my daughters boyfriend when he asked me to marry my daughter. Ones 7 and the others 3 so I got a while before I drink em. I get miniatures of canadian whiskey from the 20's often and drink them. That is one of the reasons I got into this hobby. They have a slightly oily taste that I'vebeen told was from a more primative distilling. If what I'm told is right whiskey doesn't age in the bottle. If thats the case, they made better whiskey back then and thats what I like to drink.
